For my first submission, I did this concept of our bald little friend and his mighty steed. It started out as an attempt to portray an older, more realistic looking Aang, but I ended up having more fun with that six-armed creature he flies around on. I'd love to hear your feedback.

I also wanted to add some type that would complement the illustration and I knew I wanted it to be somewhat decorative. I've been messing around with type lately and successful or not, I've been enjoying myself. I wanted to go for a foresty look for this one, let me know what you guys think, might still need some tweaks. I will add color to this and post it in the near future so keep on the look out!<br /><br />The other image is just a compilation from my sketchbook to show you guys what a spaz I am! I enjoy exploring my ideas and a new one constantly pops into my head sometimes in the middle of drawing some other idea/concept. This can sometimes frustrate me because it impedes my ability to take anything to finish, anything that I am not getting paid for at least !<br /><br /><br />I would love to hear your guys thoughts on this subject, how good are you guys to committing to an idea. I got a feeling a lot of people out there are like me and love to explore things, come on guys help me out here, I feel like a freak sometimes=)Carlos V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09062643157214123262noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624702.post-32438964281647651832009-09-07T18:17:00.000-07:002009-09-07T18:37:00.779-07:00C.H.U.D. in 3-D<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJ1FFApl60s/SqWyZHAYKKI/AAAAAAAAA3I/hFqR3JETwMo/s1600-h/chud_B.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJ1FFApl60s/SqWyZHAYKKI/AAAAAAAAA3I/hFqR3JETwMo/s400/chud_B.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378901474411030690" /></a><br /> Finally!<br /> Had a little trouble getting into this one. <br /> Until I decided to dust off my tools and sculpt my submission in super sculpey.

At least when it comes to the original series. Was not a huge fan of the subsequent follow-ups, theatrically or on television.<br /> One of my favorite episodes of the original series was called 'Arena', and was based on a Hugo award winning short story by the great Sci Fi author: Frederick Brown. In it Captain Kirk fought a reptilian alien called a Gorn for the survival of the human race. <br /> I know that the main antagonist in the Next Generation Trek series was a race of android beings called the Borg who 'assimilate' other races to serve their society's 'collective'. I always wondered if they ever assimilated any of the Gorns. Well, in my world, they did, and here is one for your viewing pleasure.<br /> Always really liked my 'Manthing' from a few posts back, so this was done in a similar style. <br />Hey....'resistance is futile'.James Gromanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09623871386847376654noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624702.post-61260249408088334112009-05-07T05:20:00.001-07:002009-05-07T05:26:25.942-07:00Star Trek TNG "the early years"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__3hxNelhaT8/SgLTR8Dna2I/AAAAAAAAAME/3-wCo4bjUfg/s1600-h/STAR_TREK.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__3hxNelhaT8/SgLTR8Dna2I/AAAAAAAAAME/3-wCo4bjUfg/s400/STAR_TREK.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333057213892619106" /></a><br />Honestly, I don't know much about star trek...the only one I ever watched really was the The Next Generation.
